Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already?

Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here's a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/

This is phenomenal, thank you for sharing!

I'm trying to be the change I want to see in the world https://lemmy.ml/c/hydrohomies

Not really. It's incredibly frustrating and I've def lost some faith in humanity.

I thought /r/selfhosted would be ready to jump but everyone is like "but there's no users on lemmy" and "you'll split the community" and "we're going to go dark for two days - that will teach them!"

Consequently there's been no support for any single refuge.

Additionally people have set up several communities here with similar names in the past but now mods aren't responding so it's all a bit of a mess.

Idk which ones you've tried but I know there's [email protected]

As far as the "no single refuge" thing, I think that just comes with time as people decide "imma post in this one". Just pick one and go for it tbh.
- yeah that one has one subscriber!
Give it time, things are accelerating really quickly!

And for what it's worth, people who have turned their back on Reddit and are now here, probably aren't contributing much or at all to discussions on Reddit... So it'll seem to skew more to voices that aren't switching or haven't yet.
I came from /selfhosted 😎

Hi all! I'm a Reddit refugee. This is my first comment here. I think I'm gonna lurk for a while and figure out how this works

I'm missing witchesagainstthe patriarchy, mommit, and quilting. Everything else is here and I'm going to get more familiar this weekend and maybe start some groups

I wish there was something like AskHistorians but I highly doubt I'll ever find something that good without a solid moderation team and very strict rules. Feels like it will either be Reddit (and fuck that to be honest) or nothing.

I still can go through rabbit holes on Wikipedia at least so there's that.

I didn't think about how sad it will be to lose askhistorians 😞
Even with solid moderation I feel like it'd be harder than for other subs just because you really need to have a decent population of people who really know what they're talking about
I suspect that if Reddit got that bad, centralised alternatives such as the Hive would mop up a lot of the userbase. Yes they might not come over to Lemmy, but they could be enticed if Lemmy gets a bit of a split up of beginner/advanced levels of control.

For anyone interested, an incomplete list of Lemmy communities and /kbin magazines being equivalent to subreddits going to be dark

So I'm using Jerboa for android. A d I click through to the list and I see, say, atheism on one of the instances, but how to do I add that to Jerboa?

I've tried the search function for subscriptions too but it doesn't come up. Am I missing something in how to sub to subs on other servers?
- I have the same question, I saw somewhere to put the URL into the search and wait 10 seconds, but it still doesn't show up :p
- Jerboa just doesn't seem to be very feature filled yet. Atm it's all we really have and I'm greatful for it, but unfortunately many features are still missing outside of the standard website. Hopefully with the growing popularity things will be improved more and more.
- If you find out, please let us know

Yes but there's only 7 subscribers and I'm the only post :(

Then again it's a niche community about a fantasy series, I'm not surprised it doesn't have much going on yet.

LGBTQ+ support spaces. Lemmy has some, but not enough.

They’re heeeeeeeere…

I’m really pleased by how many are starting anew on Lemmy. I giggled like a little kid when I saw HydroHomies was already up.

I created mine at /c/guitars , I'm not sure if the reddit community at large will join though. I'm hesitant to push it anywhere, it feels like sleazy self promotion. I just wanna talk about my hobbies with other hobbyists, and leave all the corporate greed back at reddit.

[email protected]? neat!
- yep, that's the one :)
Subscribed! Please, push it and be sleazy. I know I’ve seen others asking about a fretted community. Are you ok with banjos, bass, uke, etc visiting?
- We welcome fretboards of all shapes and sizes

Not really. My most visited subs on reddit (fuck spez) were Rimworld, Zomboid, Hunt Showdown and various hobby/profession subs (graphic design, illustration, itap, photography). I'm fairly confident a UX/UI sub will pop up sooner rather than later considering how techie Lemmy's userbase seems to be. Iirc there is a gaming related comm on beehaw, but the odds those three games will be talked about is rather slim.

Edit: also, Swoleacceptance. Recently got back to the gym due to mental health. Was a gym rat years ago but life got in the way.

nahh. my favourite subs are the braindead shitposting ones so

NFL exists, but it’s the same as nothing so far

Be the change!

Not everybody wants to moderate a community.
- Don't have to moderate, just being active and posting already makes a difference
- Yes I know. But there's a couple of NFL communities already they just need more people actually making content in them
  
  Edit [email protected] [email protected]
Lemmy.ca has a hockey sub now.

I just hope Lemmy becomes huge so niche things will start popping up, I miss specifc band and game subs like r/KGATLW and r/factorio for example. Though I have also found the searching of communities across instances to be somewhat unreliable. I'm also hoping for some good meme communities to flourish.

its going to take time, but I have a feeling things will accelerate quickly. I am here permanaently, now just need to create and find reasons for others to join me/us.
Hello there, Gizzard bro.

I can’t find any of my outdoor communities such as r/campingandhiking, r/backpacking, r/hikingcanada, r/wildernessbackpacking, r/nationalpark

Come to mander.xyz and make them. ;)
- Was going to say, I joined meander.xyz as it seems to have a good mix of tech, science, and environment / nature stuff as well. When I scrolled through it was the instance that most resembled my subreddit list (except for the cats. Is there a cats instance?!)
Same, looking for those, will try to make some too

I hate to say it but shitposts and circlejerks are a bit part of my reddit browsing to lighten the mood.

Otherwise, trash like terriblefacebookmemes and idiotsincars was great entertainment for some reason...

I don't know why I am like this.

Edit: to extend on this, seeing a post about some crazy shit play out and then reading everyone react to it is so much fun.

For r/soccer there’s [email protected] although I’m hoping [email protected] takes off instead.

It doesn’t look like there’s enough sports related content so something like [email protected] might have more engagement.

+1 for football over soccer

Ideally, futebol >
- futebol is lyfeeeeeee

Yes, actually. r/programmerhumor and r/anarchychess although on different instances are just like they were over at reddit.

Can you share the links to those? Thank you
- Not sure about chess, but [email protected]

Still looking for a r/writingprompts replacement

Even if only to read

Edit:Looks like it already exists

!aiparadise.moe/c/writing

I'd like to have a logo edit / sbubby sub.

Also, some niche ones that aren't there yet (AFAIK):

buildapc : PC building help

SavageGarden / carnivorousplants: subs aimed towards tending bug-eating plants

hardwaregore / firmwaregore / softwaregore / technope : subs based around faulty hardware and firmware, sometimes destroyed hardware, or badly designed software

cablefail : pictures of bad cable management and the chaos of cabling in general

itsaunixsystem : sub based on overly fake or wrong tech in the media

PBSOD : faulty kiosks and such displaying error messages in the open

spicypillows / spicybricks : sub based on the pictures of swollen batteries of any kind, with the "bricks" being UPS batteries

dankpods / battrees : Australian youtuber who yells at several portable music gadgets and headphones, the battrees one being pictures of off-brand batteries, mostly PKCell batteries, but can also be several others as well.

techsupportmacgyver : instances of crazy fixes that ended up working

termux : sub for the Termux project

ITRage (likely a replacement for iiiiiiitttttttttttt) : information technology-related rage posts

headphones : not sure if there's a sub there for headphones and IEM related stuff so I guess there could be one.

justrolledintotheshop : automotive repair shop employee's findings when working on vehicles

Another, much more niche music, streaming and TV-related:

kpop : for Korean music news and updates, discussion (with objective viewpoint)

kdrama : news and updates about Korean drama series, reviews, discussion

kdramarecommends : recommendations for Korean drama series

trigger (or maybe studiotrigger) : discussion and updates on anime made by Studio Trigger

webtoons : webtoon series discussion

animemusic : sharing music featured in anime series

This all I could get from the top of my head currently.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

Niche anime communities. So far, it's just Bocchi the Rock that has a separate community from the Anime community in lemmy.ml. I need my Re:Zero, KonoSuba, Kaguya-Sama, Classroom of the Elite, Call of the Night etc. I hope with more people coming in, it would been the flourishing of an entire anime ecosystem here in Reddit (probably one instance for anime solely?)

Most of my intrests are there and have some activity. Mainly the computerstuff and all. But others exist but aren't active. Take for example kpop, japanese music, horses, the elder scrolls. I wouldn't mind a community for western style RPGs as those are nearly the only games I play, with a few exeptions. General gaming ones seem too general for me, too little I care about.

I am trying to post here, but also don't want to spam a community with only my posts and make it looks like some kind of echo chamber. Feels like a delicate balance on the (nearly) inactive ones.

I had a similar dilemma with the various (inactive) gamedev communities but honestly just picked one, started a couple of threads a day apart to avoid spamming, and things picked up from there. Sometimes all it takes is one person, it's worth a try!

I've started https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/gamedev ([email protected]) and it had a much larger influx of members already than I expected. Very nice :)

Nope, not yet, unfortunately. The majority of them either hasn't migrated here yet, or has a low amount of subscribers. Hopefully, more of them starts migrating here soon.

The ones I frequently browse that I doubt will migrate here are probably r/characterai, r/choiceofgames, and r/hostedgames.

I haven't seen r/gamedeals and r/livestreamfail here yet, but their amount of subscribers is pretty high compared to the other subreddit I've listed, so I think they'll probably migrate here soon.

But at least the country I live in has made a community here already. The amount of subscribers is still pretty low, but some people in there have been making a few posts and comments recently, so hopefully it gets more active soon.

looks like [email protected] is starting up!
I'm willing to make a ChoiceScript community, only problem is that - if Discord has taught me anything - I should never, ever be a mod for anything.

Edit: y'know what fuck it, i'll just pass the baton to whoever is willing to be a mod [email protected]
I really hope r/choiceofgames and r/hostedgames migrate over

sadly I haven't found r/genshin_impact anywhere yet

Be the change you want to see

Game-specific subreddits (i.e., LegendsofRuneterra, PathofChampions, CustomLoR, MagicArena, leagueoflegends, starcraft, Factorio, LastEpoch, ftlgame). [email protected] looks good.

Franchise-specific subreddits like Batman. [email protected] looks good.

Entertainment (i.e., Showerthoughts, oddlysatisfying, interestingasfuck, DesignDesign, EngineeringPorn, OldSchoolCool).

Niche art (i.e., PixelArt, RetroFuturism, cassettefuturism, TheNightFeeling).

I expect the first two categories (where I commented most) to be the slowest to move here.

Complete lack of r/audiophile r/headphones related subs is kinda sad.

https://lemmy.film/c/headphones

Manga Theres a few basically empty ones but I do miss the density if r/manga

At least they're sticking to same format using [DISC]. That reminds me of good ol' r/manga.

There’s no gone wild yet! Although that might a bit of a sausage fest if created rn

r/diwhy was always one of my favorites :,) also miss r/Phoenix and r/Tempe for getting to find things to do near me. Maybe once that last wave off reddit hits some more Arizonans will catch the drift

I'm going to miss the mycology sub, haven't had any luck in finding something similar yet.

Haven't seen anything CSGO or CSGO2 related yet. :(

If anyone misses /r/chapotraphouse they have their own version of Lemmy they have built for the last 3 years which should be back to being federated soon. hexbear.net for anyone interested.

Mainly just communities for specific games, if they do exist they aren’t populated enough for interaction

I would like a CitiesSkylines community on Lemmy.

There is an unofficial paradox community. IIRC it is on lemmy.ml. We could probably post CS stuff in there

I've got my politics, I've got my world news, techstuff, gaming & memes. I'd like to see picture subs like earthporn more populated. They're currently pretty empty. Also missing content in my regional Austria sub but that will solve itself if the reddit exodus continues.

Missing: r/liberalgunowners, r/libertarian without the hard-right Mises Caucus flavor, r/reloading, r/longrange

Happy to see: r/iowa, r/SocialistRA

Happy to not see: r/politics, r/whitepeopletwitter and their... unique dogpiling

I've had to change my mindset; if I care about it existing, then I have to be the one who makes it. I've already created [email protected] and I've become a mod for [email protected].

Well I've found a Soccer sub, but that's about it

Ffs just realised just how many subs I've been participating in over there, would be a big loss

Still looking for alternatives for r/mechanicalkeyboards and r/spacex

@mechanicalkeyboards
We have https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards on kbin.

If you're on a Lemmy instance then the best way to add it is to paste the full URL into search while logged in. It won't show up right away, but if you wait a few seconds then it'll appear in the search results. Every now and then it gets stubborn and you have to refresh the search results page to see it.

Coffee and espresso are both dead here it brings me great sadness.

Haven't seen any new Genshin Impact nor HSR-related posts yet

@zakiuem

@RomanRoy

I would love a Honkai Star Rail community. I’ve learned a lot, if not all of what I know about the game from the subreddit people.
- Oh, someone created one! https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

i'm trying to "migrate" my favorite subs to kbin. i am getting errors... don't know if i've met a limit or if everything is just overloaded rn

edit: after some hours, i'm allowed to make new "magazines" on kbin. god bless

I got very lucky, there is a whole instance dedicated to flight simulation and aviation now! lemmyfly.org if anyone is wondering.

My subreddit list on Reddit was quite long, so it'll be a while until I have a comparable list with silly communities.

Brilliant, I've been looking for an aviation community!

I think moderators of the large subreddit should immigrate the users with a statement while privated.

It would be kinda nice if /aaaaaaacccccccce made it over. I know there's a lgbt on beehaw but it's not quite the same if that makes sense.

I just subscribed to my local city of /c/Boston - but there are no posts yet. I just really want a space where I can talk about local current events, news, business openings and closures, infrastructure projects, etc.

I also liked going into other city's subs to see what's going on before travelling. In Reddit, they were always great spaces for restaurant recommendations, helpful tips and tricks, tourist traps to avoid, etc.

start posting to increase engagement

I'm hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in [email protected]. We do love to show off pics of all our projects though so I expect it won't be too long before it makes sense to start splitting that up.

Not really, but it's not overly surprising really.

Most of my favourite subs are pretty nerdy, niche ones, or kinda based on a stupid joke. So the likes of /headphones /iPod /BicyclingCircleJerk may or may not make it over here.

Did you find a bicyclecirclejerk yet? Or are all the freds still on reddit

Some have, some haven't.

Two which haven't are /r/sweden and /r/languagelearning hopefully they'll come soon.

Fint att se fler svenskar här! I randomly visited the feddit.se domain and surprisingly found a Lemmy instance there, but the admin hasn't done anything with it yet. I hope /c/sweden (if it gets created) gets its own instance for Swedish-speaking communities instead of being stuck on a big instance. Until then, I'm staying on the Danish instance lmao.

r/LanguageLearning though, please leave that on Reddit... the only good thing to come out of there is r/languagelearningcirclejerk. Why would anyone join a general community for language learning instead of a community for the specific language they're learning, if not to speak English all the time and brag about how much of an epic polyglot they are?!
Du er velkommen til at kigge forbi på feddit.dk. Der er allerede et par svenskere her.
- Jag har precis prenumererat :)

The art sharing subreddits like Imaginary Network, /r/awwnime, /r/patchuu, /r/moescape and similar. I want to start an instance that automatically crossposts from those subreddits to the Fediverse, and users here can also contribute with artwork that fits the community's theme. It'll probably fetch the posts through RSS to avoid the API limits, but who knows if Reddit might shut that down too. So I'll have to wait until this API situation stabilizes.

This for sure, all the art and also all the NSFW art collected on reddit is going to become significantly harder to access, it'd be nice to have somewhere for both.

Subreddits to discuss certain bands, or games, or tv shows. Yeah sometimes they got repetitive but it was cool to see memes and discussion about specific pieces of media. Even if r/Metallica has a post every day about how St. Anger is underrated. Or the subreddit for Battlefield 1 just complains about certain weapons in a game from 2015.

yea it will be a while before individual band subs get moved over, and for some bands that have waned in popularity over the years they might never see the transfer over. even larger music subs for more niche genres are gonna be in freefall for a while. Shoutout to https://lemmy.ml/c/indieheads

No but not a lot of people have multiple sclerosis so I undersand.

Not yet, I made a couple for discussions about whiskey and steam remote play (playing steam games on your phone and stuff). I just realized I should post the massive guide I wrote for the latter in the new community!

Link to the whiskey sub please haha

Maybe some IT meme subs. I feel like those will be on here soon enough.

I also miss my local subs. I live in a midsized city and it's going to take quite a lot of time for it to migrate. I don't want to start it myself because the community is pretty toxic, but it has helpful information. What I'm saying is, I don't want to be a moderator to that community hah.

There's [email protected] to get us started at least

Interestingafuck, sharepoint, o365, mapsporn, yuzu, kotlin, all missing

Missing mapsporn as well - found [email protected] although it's pretty small at the moment.
- start posting to increase engagement
- That's great!

Movies (I think, still new to Lemmy so I may not be seeing it)

Create it! I recreated one of my favorites and am waiting for others to join. If you created Movies, I'd join for sure.

Waiting for the parenting subreddits to appear.

Why not start them?
- I did that with metalgearsolid though in all honesty if those mods come over hear I'll just make them mods and let them handle it haha. I just wanted to get the ball rolling while the hype train for the remake is going on.
- 🤔 good question

r/outside, r/shittyaskscience

A bit more broad than r/shittyaskscience, but to tide you over there is ShittyAskLemmy
- Ok, thanks!

I'd love to see a Minnesota Vikings subreddit and am thinking about starting one but am intimidated* at being not only a mod but the top mod. I've never been a mod before and don't want to mess it up haha

I mostly used /r/Denmark. Now I use the feddit.dk instance, but it isn't officially supported by the /r/Denmark mods.

It’s been here already. c/fuck_cars

Waiting for the Farming and Gardening subs to move over along with prepping.

None of the No Man's Sky subs have shown indications of moving, which bums me out. I'd much rather get my glyphs, neat screenshots, and wild speculation from a forum rather than Discord.

FFXIV, most of the writing subs, Another Eden, I don't think FoundryVTT has moved yet, PF2E, there aren't nearly as many cute-animal communities yet, etc.

Reddit refugee here - just created [email protected], one subreddit I will miss after leaving Reddit

A user migrated one, I migrated another. Neither have had activity worth mentioning.

There's a handful of others I used heavily that haven't though. I'm missing r/metalmemes in a bad way lol.

r/historymemes for me

r/noncrediblesefense r/trailerparkboys r/megaten r/gamingeaksandrumours

Waiting for ShroomScout to bring over Unclebens

I'm waiting for someone to re-create r/france here, as it seems you need an engineer degree to understand how to setup your instance :(

In general you don't need to set up your own instance to create a Community /c/France, you can just create it on any existing instance that allows Community creation by users. I notice you're on beehaw who have decided to limit Community creation to Admins for now.

That said, many regional non-english speaking communities have made their own instances (feddit.de, feddit.dk, feddit.ir), maybe it has something to do with limiting language used?
- Thank you, that's more clear ! @[email protected] gave me indications to sub to /c/france
The one and only Amiral_Poitou ! Vous ici

Il y a [email protected] https://lemmy.ml/c/france
- Bjr
  
  Merci ! Je sub de suite :D
While you need to be computer savvy to create an instance, creating a community is as simple as creating a subreddit. I created /c/[email protected], and I'm not even in STEM.

There's a bunch of creative writing type subreddits that I lurked on; hfy, writingprompts, fanfiction, that sort of thing.

I'm wondering about u/poemforyoursprog. Sam has been a reddit fixture for around a decade now. I remember this one time in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table."

Nice.

I find there is a tragic lack of transgendercirclejerk here

Let us forge it anew
- lemmy.ml literally has a rule in their CoC that says "Remarks that moderators find inappropriate, whether listed in the code of conduct or not, are also not allowed." I'd probably make it somewhere else if i were you.
- done
- YTA tran bad
Lemmy is AGP anyway, real trutranners don't know what an ethernet cable is
- Tbf Reddit was AGP too, real trutranners don't know what a computer is

desperately need r/196 over here plspls

r/196
- yippeeeeee it seems like the only mod is inactive tho 3: i am nervous for the future there

It has, but it's quite empty yet. There are some posts, but I can seem to be able to reply sometimes. I use the "Jerboa" app and I get a "language not allowed" error. Anyone knows how to fix this?

I don't think I've ever seen that, but maybe try changing your language settings (in the web UI maybe, it syncs).
- The only settings I can change is which language I select. I tried deselecting everything, selecting everything, with the same results.

Mechanicalpencils is missing for me. I don't post there much on reddit, but I love lurking there. I hope they migrate.

We've got [email protected] already which makes me very happy, [email protected] is taking off nicely, now all I need is Eurovision and fantasy football if anyone has a lead on any such communities.

How do I find the UK lemmy? I tried to search but it didn't happen
- Looks like you're on Kbin? I'm not sure how it works over there tbh, but if it's like with Lemmy you may need to search and wait for it to actually show a result (or search, wait, then refresh the page and search again lol it's a bit finicky). Basically if nobody from one instance has searched for a community before it needs a little extra time to pull the data.
  
  Again though not 100% this is the case on Kbin, but it is here.

So far almost none of mine are on here. May have to change that.

One of my main subs was /r/cfb, I don't think it has transitioned yet... Hopefully it'll get up and running before football season starts.

Boomer Sooner!

I scanned quickly through the comments here so I may have missed any mentions, if there were any... But my suggestion is: there should be a master/stickied list of equivalent subreddits. So in the future, people can just google [subreddit name] + lemmy (or kbin or beehaw etc etc).

Preferably the same exact subreddit name. Or are those subreddit names owned by Reddit? Can they come after us?

One of my favorite subreddits is r/engrish. Its basically all about funny english mistakes. I couldn't find it anywhere so i just created it here and posted some of my favourites. I would love if people are intrested is post you english mistaks you find and help build out the community. Im still very new to lemmy but have been loving it.

English was a copy of a website https://engrish.com/. Unbelievably r/engrish is a poor imitation of the original.
Similarly I wouldn't mind seeing something like r/trouduction show up here (bad translation errors but in French), although I suppose first we'd probably have to have any French-speaking communities at all, which for the moment it seems don't really exist

hoping to find a fanfiction community, not confident in my server to host more than one community honestly

You don't really need your server to. You can join a community from any server.

I mean I mainly spent my time on the UK based subs and we've got United Kingdom and casualuk equivalents here already which is good. They both need a lot more users though.

Mainly what I'm missing are skateboarding, more specific music subs like metal, punk etc., but those will come in time I'm sure.

Nice to be here by the way, still getting used to how the whole fediverse thing works but it seems pretty cool so far!

I’m only missing ProgrammerHumor tbh.

I just started [email protected] hoping to see the Beat Saber subreddit migrate over but I'm not sure of the future direction. Be the change you want to see!

I think so. Not sure if it's official - as in, done by the mods - but there seems to be a few people over there already! CasualUK over on reddit was my favourite sub, and https://lemmy.world/c/ukcasual seems to be the place to be now on Lemmy.

Not official but we're just trying to carry on the best traditions of the original!
- Good enough for me! Hopefully ends up full of us refugees raring for a chinwag!

I follow a lot of niche hobby and some other communities that haven't come over yet.

A couple have started to shuffle on over but not a lot yet.

I also followed a lot (like a serious amount) of art subs that haven't seemed to come over yet. I basically followed most of the "imaginary[insert niche here]" subs.

It's not much but it's honest work... I remember finding this sub the first time and was blown away that I wasn't alone! So I started it. [email protected]

Game specific ones like satisfactory mostly. And AITA is entertaining and infuriating.

Doing my part...

https://cigar.cx/c/cubancigars

https://cigar.cx/c/newworldcigars

I need a r/EnoughMuskSpam

I didn't really have a favourite sub. My reddit activity was mostly in trans spaces, but I've got that covered here on the fediverse, because I admin a trans Hajkey/Calckey instance.

So instead, I find myself using threadiverse communities that I wasn't really active in on reddit

threadiverse

I like this. I keep seeing and saying "Lemmy/Kbin" which is awkward in all sorts of ways.

"Threadiverse" has a good denim feel to it.
- It's pretty fetch ;)
exactly this! find something (even if its only tangentially related) and join. post something. this is a great opportunity to stop lurking and make an outsized contribution to your fellow humans by posting content. you are here. your influence and actions right now matter.

We are migrating as we speak onto my local instance, I suspect the larger ones may get overloaded on the 12th

No and I doubt they will, I'll have to look for an alternative to get my mexican memes and news.

/r/welding /r/machinists /r/cherokeexj /r/jeep made it though (and some wrangler community... so, yay?)

Hey fam ,

I created https://lemmydeals.com because most of the reason why I went to reddit was to find deals anyway. Hope you can go take a look!

Esoteric one for all of you … r/faceting used to discuss faceting gemstones. Also r/gemstones … what can I say it’s a hobby I enjoy. 😁

I created mine. !synths[email protected]

I want a more active league of legends community :(

Foodporn has appeared /c/[email protected]

Mainly specific game subs, but I could always make them myself I suppose.

i haven't found a grimdank or other wh40k comunity so far

One of my most visited lately is for a reality TV show, Vanderpump Rules. It’s not here, but I suspect the crossover between early adopters here on the fediverse and trashy reality TV shows is very low lol.

As a non American user, I recently struck gold finding r/USDdefaultism. It'd be nice if the need for this kind of sub doesn't migrate to Lemmy as well though.

Not yet. I really hope people start coming over though. Things like Unraid were a HUGE resource. Maybe stuff like BuyItForLife and so on.

I used reddit for crowdsourcing info on products and tech support.

One has, but there are no posts yet I've created another, created a post and am waiting to see if others move over. I plan on giving up modship ASAP because I'm not built for that. Yet another has and there's a bit of activity.

I've wondered how hard it would be to write a bot that, for each new link-post in a particular sub in Reddit, it creates a corresponding link-post in a matching community in Lemmy. Intrinsically I feel like it would be easy, and might make the switch for users from there to here easier as it is already seeded with 'the content'.
- Someone actually did that!
  
  https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/69416/GitHub-v1nsai-red2lem-Crossposts-from-Reddit-to-Lemmy

No, but all things in due time.

Looks like it's been here for a while (worldbuilding), just isn't that active.

We're working on it. With your help, /c/[email protected] can become a lot more active :)

It has not, but im considering making a lost media community on Blahaj Zone.

r/pathofexile. I hope it gets going before the next league starts

Not all of them. I might try setting up a fountain pen community some time soon!

Check out https://sopuli.xyz/c/fountainpens
- Ah, that wasn't there last I checked! I'm so glad the Fediverse is growing so quickly!

I think the subs I am going to miss the most are mostly gaming subreddits, I dint have high hopes they'll move. /r/bindingofisaac will be most missed and /r/196 for the hilarity. I am sort of surprised that the list is so small, I feel like reddit communities have been going down in quality faster than usual lately. I like this place and tildes, if it could grow a bit more so 100+ comment threads could happen daily that would be perfect.

I’m pretty sure 196 exists over at [email protected] (maybe it’s another instance but idk). Not sure about r/bindingofisaac.

Missing lots of groups.

Someone posted https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/4331/The-growing-list-of-subreddits-going-to-be-dark-but which seems to suggest at least some of these already exist. But when I try to find/subscribe, I get "No results". I'm trying to find new communities here, is this the right way? https://lemmy.click/search/q/search/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1

I'm looking into Nostr protocol based apps like https://stacker.news and https://coracle.social

Not really, and I have low hopes of that happening, tbh.

Most communities are very low-tech, so users might have a hard time adapting to the environment.

I think it is just normal that it becomes filled with tech people at first. Then these people help the environment improve, new features are born, new apps and then there's a boom,
- Yeah, I hope so. I just hope this time it's taking off in the right way, I've been one of the first 100 users to migrate over to Voat when shit hit the fan years ago on reddit, and that community went down the deep end real quick.
Like for example the default search for communities should be All due to the confusion of search results only popping up with internal instance communities. I worked it out noticing no @ but most newbies will get confused and see jangled messes of community and instance addresses.
- Yep, I agree. Joined through an instance run by a friend, so we might be able to tweak it locally, but unless we suggest it as a feature in git and merge it into the main built, I don't see that coming as a default setting.

I'm gonna miss furry_irl tbh. I didnt post that much tbh, but I liked that community. Fortunately there is a furry instance here.

still waiting for /c/TIL

There’s [email protected]
Yeah I've been looking for that as well. I think I'll set it up on my instance and see how it goes
- Wait no I found one https://civilloquy.com/c/todayilearned

I really like the poker subreddit. It's a really strange place, there's always some kind of shit post, tons of sarcasm.. people are dicks to eachother. And yet it can be a very helpful resource when the facade drops and people become genuinely helpful. Also lots of great clips from world poker events. I'm not sure Lemmy is the place for this tbh, there are many other established poker forums.

So far I haven't found any running or ultra running communities.

For the most part yes, I would say anything mainstream is generally made its way to lemmy, however some niche subs like r/hamradio r/gmrs and some gaming subreddits like r/fireemblem and r/finalfantasy seem to be missing. Honestly I'm surprised even 90+% of the communities I follow are on here, I'm quite hopeful that it'll continue to get better.

Fydeos, chromeos, brunch toolkit, azzurro zcs owners.

twobestfriendsplay has begun to spin up, so now all I need is my gacha shit and my TTRPG shit.

I'm missing r/Succulents, r/elite Dangerous, r/bisexual and r/watercooling. And r/MTB too. I hope some or all of those come over. Not having r/Succulents is distressing because they are a font of good information on rare plants.

/c/[email protected] seems decently active for queer-related stuff!
- Yes! I've subbed to them. Thank you :)
r/xbiking… I need my xbiking and /r/brompton
- r/xbiking… I need my xbiking
  
  I just created [email protected] as a general-purpose cycling community, in the hopes that it will either be as inclusive as xbiking or otherwise will eventually spur spin-off cycling communities.
Complaint about on foot missions

Newbie stuck with no fuel left

Ad for an exploration expedition

More complaints

Bizarre conspiracy theory about something Thargoid or other

Even more complaints

There you go, that should tide you over on the Elite thing at least!
- Feels just like home ❤️
I just created [email protected] as a general-purpose, inclusive cycling community! Feel free to post any MTB-related stuff :)
- Thank you!! How do I join it? That link opens my browser to a 404 error. I'm in jerboa!

I really want a csharp (C#) one. I know there is one but no one has posted there yet. XD And more game/Indie dev.

And something equivalent to the aww subreddit (does anyone know one?).

How can I create a community? I am trying to on Lemmy.ml but I keep getting an error “Match the requested format”

lowercase with no special characters and you are good to go

Looks like no videos? Maybe linking to peertube?

I need an equivalent to r/nosleep...

https://lemmy.ml/c/nosleep
- You just made my day!

Not fully. Some are but nothing that I've found like consolerrepair or any of the console hack community's. The main thing I liked from those was the resources you could find from the wikis or from old post.

I migrated [email protected] myself

r/breadstapledtotrees is private 😔

You can have private communities too? Pretty cool!

I'd love to find the circlejerk subs here. That probably won't happen for a while.

Yeah, I was quite disappointed to see that most, if not all, subreddits I follow had already shut down on Reddit. I mean, there's r/learnjapanese, r/fitness, r/iwanttolearn, r/piracy, r/nootropics... I could go on and on. I'm actually considering creating a Lemmy community in place of r/chineselanguage, since I see nothing of the sort has been created yet here. However I'm quite hesitant, since I don't really have the time nor interest in moderating a community, so... maybe I'll just wait for someone else to create it instead?

Hobby subs, definitely. History subs. Book subs are low membership so far here. r/tea and r/sewing/, being some favorites.

Mostly communities for specific games. Like Destiny, Forza, Deep Rock Galactic, and that taboo anime game. I also miss the fanart communities. Hopefully these will grow here too over time, but who knows.

I brought [email protected] over, although I'm not expecting a large turnout. While they are participating in the blackout, I don't know that many will seek an alternative and will probably just want to play more...

I'm missing an active EDH (Magic the gathering) community.

A bouldering community. The rest will come over time.

Re Soccer - there's one called Football (soccer). I've literally just joined so need to work out the correct way to link, but will edit in if/when I work it out.

EDIT - don't know if this will work, but here's a link to a thread on there in case you want to join: https://lemmy.world/post/28823

EDIT 2: Or this: https://lemmy.world/c/football

EDIT 3: [email protected]

I’ve found a lot of replacements. There’s just some very niche subreddits that I follow that haven’t had equivalents made yet unfortunately. Also some subs for some of the franchises/properties I like. Those will hopefully get some equivalents soon.

Apple Business Manager and Intune would be super helpful to have.

I'm not mod material but if someone wants to create /c/juggling and /c/throwers I am in for a sub

If there is a better breaddit replacement than https://lemmy.ml/c/bread I haven't found it yet.

hexbear has... kinda migrated, lol. maybe one day they will join the feds 🤔

I am still missing r/TrueFilm (in-depth discussions about film) and r/TheOverload (unconventional electronic music). Are there any communities about those subjects yet?

We can do a south-american community, if there is somebody interested, the new sub of Colombia [email protected] 🇨🇴 🇨🇴 🇨🇴 🌎🌎🌎

I miss /r/AppHookup. Everything else already arrived!

Not quite but slowly either finding people who have or else solving that issue myself. MirrorsEdgeAesthetics isn't working no matter what I try, but just about everything elseiI'm slowly getting started with here, at least for the SFW stuff anyway.

Hoping to see fo76FilthyCasuals show up on Lemmy!

I tried making a Shin Megami Tensei community because there wasn't one but I'm the only one in it still.

Hey everyone! I've created /c/trees if anyone wants to join! https://sh.itjust.works/c/trees

I miss WolvesWithWatermelons ç-ç

My beloved Manchester City (Football / Soccer team)are playing in the UEFA Champions league final tonight, I understand the mods may be a bit preoccupied yet hope the sub makes it over here. Right now though, I doubt there will be any moves yet for atleast a few days.

I've made a paradoxextra community on lemmy.ml, for who's interested

We are getting there.

Are there any tools to kickstart a new community by importing from Rss, other SN, or similar ? Also, are there any AI/bot API, so we can add AI curated posts to communities ?

I hope that the community from the Hunt Showdown sub would show up here.

I'm still waiting for an SBC Gaming/handheld community and more fashion communities.

I would start them myself but ive been super busy recently :(

I have seen a couple communities so far but I might just create the communities to start them off

Created !dataengineering

For football, r/gunners has just migrated to [email protected]! Bit empty rn, but hopefully we'll have just the same memes and community that make us what we are. My friend, is ok, no?

Tinkercad didn't have one yet, so I made it. Would love to see more maker groups, but it'll grow organically and I'm pretty patient.

One of the very few subreddits (like 4, seriously) that I lurked on hasn't migrated to Lemmy, yet. But I like to see them here soon enough.

Not really. I'm mainly waiting for some motorcycle communities, telescope/astrophotography ones, Silmarillion/LOTR/StarWars/StarTrek memes, along with some other minor ones. Some of these technically exist but they are low on member counts FOR NOW, literally growing by the minute though.

Also the search function seems to be a little off so sometimes it doesnt always list the correct number of active users for a community if its a community from an external instance. Also not all communities show up/are indexed quickly. But im sure that will improve relatively quickly

/r/DAE (does anyone else)

I’m hoping most of our city subs get on board. Already subbed to /c/Atlanta.

I thought it did, but it is currently bot reposts, I guess that makes sense though.

I'm a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:

/r/atbge
/r/justfuckmyshitup
/r/catsareassholes
/r/thecatdimension
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
/r/cologne or / r/koeln
/r/parents or /r/eltern
/r/djs or /r/beatmatch
/r/house or /r/deephouse

There are probably more... If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.

I found some of them:

!atbge
!kidsarefuckingstupid
!cologne
!djs
!deephouse
!housemusic
- Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

probably not going to get many people but i started one for maplestory https://lemmy.ml/c/maplestory
